Sedition: Outgoing Syria Envoy Admits Hiding US Troop Numbers
Four years after signing the now-infamous “Never Trump” letter condemning then-presidential candidate Donald Trump as a danger to America, retiring diplomat Jim Jeffrey is recommending that the incoming Biden administration stick with Trump’s foreign policy in the Middle East.
But even as he praises the president’s support of what he describes as a successful “realpolitik” approach to the region, he acknowledges that his team routinely misled senior leaders about troop levels in Syria.
“We were always playing shell games to not make clear to our leadership how many troops we had there,” Jeffrey said in an interview. The actual number of troops in northeast Syria is “a lot more than” the roughly two hundred troops Trump initially agreed to leave there in 2019. […]
“What Syria withdrawal? There was never a Syria withdrawal,”

They lie about the existence of a Deep State out of one side of their mouths, while gloating over its activities out of the other.
The deep state is in perpetual rebellion from democratic governance and nothing happens. Why would they ever change? Is there any reason to believe that the election of Bill Clinton and Barak Obama weren’t fraudulent?
Trust the media they wouldn’t lie to you…
This fake reporting on the US election says YES they fabricate such believable stories.
They lie as well as politicians!
Pushing to get vaccination make me suspect too.
Snake oil salesman it reminds me of.
If they can lie about things like this(deployed troop strength), then the military is capable of slipping the leash and performing a coup d’état.
Civilian oversite of the military is supposed to be an important feature of our Liberal Democracies.
John Brennan calls on VP Pence and the cabinet to invoke the 25th Amendment and strip Pres. Trump of his powers.
John Brennan sounds like the geezer at the end of the bar.
Will no one rid me of this meddlesome priest?
On the other hand, the guy is extremely pleased with Trump’s foreign policies.
I haven’t seen praise for Trump like that from a non-GOP person before, has anyone?
This is 11 on the TDS scale. A media creature gloating that the military is lying to its Commnder-in-Chief and conducting its own foreign policy. A few days ago they were butthurt Trump “decapitated” the leadership at the Pentagon. Related?
Related!!?? Ya think!!?? Our Military is announcing that THEY are in total control. They simple IGNORE the People’s Choice. Beware the Military-Industrial Complex. Well …unless “Orange Man” is POTUS … then leftists want to wage WAR with every strongman Leader they don’t like. Why? Because … Islamism

I like to think you lost just enough support to tip the balance.
this provides evidence that YOU did in fact shoot your mouth off and hit yourself in the nuts.
t-RUMP? well potus orange face, THAT for me was the very very last straw to disparage the bravest people in the nation.
YOU are the loser and your followers are the suckers.
Are you a bot? You sure act like one.
If not a bot, just a plain ordinary robot.
Steve Jobs windfall-widow was able to get over on you, eh? hb?
BTW … I do ALL my freehand pencil sketches with an hb lead. It’s just soft-enough … like your head
Key phrase…”REPORTED losers and suckers remarks.”
I admit, I was not there. Neither was she. But the majority of people who were, and are willing to let their names stand, said that no such remarks were made.
Yes, DJT does shoot his mouth off, but I have always heard it directed at Dems, RINOs, and the MSM. Him saying that about the military is totally out of sync with everything else he has ever said or done re. the Forces. So I tend to place more stock in the majority consensus of those who were there that this is a fabrication. Running with “reported” comments as if they were proven facts is a common theme, especially with lefties.
Note – the flip side of him “shooting his mouth off” is that he says things which are honest, which many do not want to hear. It is a nasty world out there, (Iran, China, MSM) and in choosing the leader of a country, one does not have the same criteria as choosing dinner guests for a quiet social evening.
Donald Trump is an Eagle Scout language-wise compared to what I’d be like if I held office.
FUCK OFF AND DIE, COMMIE SCUM! You’ll help inform policy in this country when you GROW THE FUCK UP. Until then SHUT UP, spend your welfare checks on ketamine and mollys like good little parasites, and get back under your rocks where you belong!
Like that. Goddamn stale boring predictable neo-hippies.
Reported by… the press and the Dems. On the other hands, there is a video of Biden calling a hangar full of soldiers a bunch of “stupid bastards”. No “reported” there.
Users refer to a remark Biden made while giving a speech to U.S. Military personnel on March 7, 2016 at a military base in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates ( here ) . Full footage of the event is visible youtu.be/2FUcxqGObZc .
To use that wonderful phrase of Biden’s, THAT WAS DEBUNKED. Only I mean it and it is true. How many “I was there and he never said that” does it take?
You sound like you had a bowl of popcorn and a cheering mug out for watching the Kavanaugh SCOTUS whipping. Out of over 20 senior officials that were in ear shot of PJT NOBODY with a name confirmed those remarks. It would have been totally out of character given what he’s done and said regarding the military. He even went to a military school so respect for those who serve was ingrained into his character early in his life. Either you’re gullible or complicit. You’re thinking with your small brain – the part that responds only to emotion.
Your first clue was that it’s a .com site, not a .mil or .gov. Your second clue (and this is a biggy) is that she is quoting from The Atlantic.
Really, don’t come over here where the adults are talking, and try to distract us with your childish gibberish.
Begone, troll!

They simple IGNORE the People’s Choice.
(Beware the Military-Industrial Complex.)
(President Dwight D Eisenhower 1954, Commander and Chief of the United States Armed Forces European theater said those words when he left office.)
After 2 years in Nam 1967-70 and friends having served 5 tours of duty in Iraq and Afghanistan We were correct in saying we are over here killing the wrong Sons of Bitches.
For all the intellectually challenged, all is never as it seems. It is sad to contemplate but all that I have ever known and absorbed intellectually will die with me, was it a waste? I doubt that I influenced one single individual to “think”.
hb:
THAT did not happen but you probably know this.
Trump, as is typical of commanders-in-chief who themselves avoided military service (there I threw you a little bone) is ultra-pro-military, too much so in my view, from a budgetary POV.
SO, calling dead soldiers losers and suckers is simply not imaginable to any honest observer.
Why not move off this topic and maybe consider a more credible (LOL) claim that Trump recommended fish take cleaner to treat WuFlu.
Thank God for the “deep state” aka The Resistance. Brave professionals have worked against Trump’s madness for benefit of everyone.
Also, Trump is a pathetic loser.
The Deep State must find us threatening. All of the sudden we are full of bots and trolls.
Also, Trump is a pathetic loser. Hopsqueal.
Bhabha
You dumbasses were in such a ballot cheat hurry for limp Biden,
you forgot to fill in the down ballots for governors senators, and lost 10 congressmen so far.
Blue Wave Bullshit. HA
Hoppsing:
Are you auditioning for The Babylon Bee?
Trying to replace Progressive Pat?
Hoppdingbat, the resistance is NOT working against Trump, it is working against the people!
Not to the VETS that O-dumber let die waiting on the VA to do their job. (Which HE should have done)
Prez Trump went after the folks in charge and fixed it.
It is obvious it only takes ONE __ Sovereign Ordinary Average Person __ to force the – used to having their way of sophistry – regardless of moving into the range of Treason certainly close enough to Warrant an F.B.I. Investigation attention or immediate Attorney General review of the verbal attack of the Brave Whistleblower standing His Ground for Justice & Freedom of Speech; The Citizens of Hong Kong & Taiwan will welcome such integrity in Their similar efforts to protect the Human Rights and Responsibilities of the Individual . Will there be such Postal Workers in a Canada which is able to move away from the __ faux semi- Sovereign Ordinary Average Person __ increasingly infiltrated-bribed-dominated by the Hull/Ottawa clutch on power?
Trolls coming in here now, must be because they are trying to suppress the truth, which verifies that it is the truth.
When they are shooting at you, you must be over the target.
I tried to e-mail an article to a couple of friends from another site and guess what, it did not go because it was considered spam. now who other than my e-mail provider could determine that? The site is a recognized conservative site outside of canada. so my canadian provider had to have censored it. WTF are we headed? Will I be the first canadian to die in the whu who flu civil war? I thought that the government was protecting all us old octogenarians, you know, lock us all up for our own well being. Do I need a sarc tag?
vowg,
It probably went and is in your recipient’s spam folder.
I often forget to check my spam folder
maybe, but i asked one today, face to face, and he did not get it.
nothing is ever as it seems.
So this ambassador is admitting to fabricating intelligence reports to the commander in chief?
You do realize it’s the useful idiots that get eliminated first right?
He should be hanged by the neck until dead.
Interesting that the stance that the Democrats took in defending Lt. Col. Vindman while at the same time trying to eviscerate Major General Flynn directly lines up with party politics, dangerously lines up with party politics. Now we see how deep the American ideals have sunk. Truth be damned, for the Democrats the end justifies the means, no matter what it costs to get there. This election is truly the end of the line for Democracy. Some of us have known for the last twenty years that we have been lied to. The outcome of this election will indicate how many Americans have swallowed the propaganda that has been force fed to them in the last twenty years or how many Americans still have the inherent common sense that the founding Americans had in the beginning. The upcoming protests tomorrow will be a glaring indication of what is to come. The Democrats will do everything in their power to prevent the movement of people tomorrow, just as they are trying to prevent Thanksgiving and Christmas, and that will be a direct indication of how the future will unfold for the West.
So, for the military it’s shell game or shilling for despots. Funny how the “presence in force” worked so well in post-war Germany and Japan – and is still working in the Pacific arena (forget Europe; that stand-off is history) – but when it was time to employ it in the ME, the US chose to play footsie with sheiks and ayatollahs. The tried and true follow up to war – in this case the Iraqi invasion – was to impose conditions on the vanquished and then keep sufficient force in their face to make sure they understood that there would be no “shell games”. How many NAZI or Bushido terrorist attacks were there after WWII? .. Oh, I guess that would be zero.
The hilarious part is that he baited Trump simply by tying the troops to ‘guarding the oil’, and Trump fell for it because he’s retarded. Thanks Deep State, you’re a gentleman and a scholar.
